See for yourself start of good if you like it stay if not go to pay any attention to the manager just try your best and do what you have to do not hard to do unless you have someone behind you all the time it will get stressful

Discovery is a shell. A facade for charging exorbitant fees to the elderly. Discover how upper management treats their employees. Exhausting working for them. Lies, lies, lies. No guidance. No communication.

You will not be valued with this company unless you are a marketer to bring in their money. Solely focused on numbers and not care. Belittled and bullied on a regular basis, with no voice for reason. Corporate only cares about petty things, and does not treat staff with basic respect. If it’s not about a dollar sign, they don’t want to hear it. HR will let threatening and hostile environments continue without proper disciplinary action. Watch your back! Because they are ready to throw you under a bus at any given opportunity. If you have a license, protect it......and run!!!!!Also don’t have adequate staffing to care for all the residents they want to bring in there for their money. High turnover rates keep the staffing critical, and residents are lucky if they get their needs met. Staff working beyond their scope of practice and against regulations. Management forces inappropriate residents that are a higher level of care so they can pocket the money. Bottom line....it’s all about money!

Growing company committed to it's employee experience

Human Resources (Current Employee) – Bonita Springs, FL – May 1, 2019

I can attest to the positive culture, commitment of leadership and opportunities for professional growth with Discovery Senior Living. Commitment to our residents and their families starts at the top and trickles throughout the organization. I'm very proud of the work we do. I would highly recommend Discovery Senior Living.

A lot of regulations are broken here. Your license isn’t safe. Your residents are not safe. Staff (on evening and night shift) abandon the building. Staff will sleep while on the clock. Multiple elopements. Too much to tell that happens in this building.

I warn you, stray away from working for this company. Took over my facility and swore up and down in a meeting with current employees nothing would change, no ones jobs were at risk, etc etc. five months later managers who have “worked” (if that’s what you want to call it) there for five to six months or less think they know everything, everyone, and can run the building. They stay in their offices and do absolutely nothing all day with the residents or caregivers but swear to God that you aren’t doing your job right as if they’re anywhere near to see to even doing your job. They could care less about the residents. New management is poor, RDO could care less what’s going on as long as he’s got all the control. Will believe anything management says, doesn’t actually care for real life facts. Sets a tone of terror and threat before he even steps foot in the door. This used to be a happy place to work. No longer. Stay far away. Look elsewhere for employment. Not long before the shady management causes a padlock on the door and 30 day notices to all the residents.

Corporate forces in house management to cut staffing hours which in turn compromises the safety and well being of the residents and has shot the morale of staff down. All department heads are resigning because of poor treatment and unrealistic expectations from corporate. If you plan on accepting a salary position, think twice, the hours you will be expected to put in and the added stress will burn you out quickly. Discovery Senior Living has lost sight of their mission.

Great residents, local management did fairly well given corporate expectations/changes. The commission package is tough and there is little work-life balance as you are required to work holidays and weekends.

I worked there for about two months and made no promises they told me. Dining manager selfish with hours. She told me from 4-8 and it’s really two hours a day. So really the play favorism with the hours,days off,and holiday pay.Dining manager always has excuses of why she couldn’t stay after 5 pm.

Discovery is a wonderful place to work. Management is the best you will ever work with. They are very supportive and are not afraid to get their hands dirty and do the work with you. They will work around any scheduling conflicts you may have. They are very approachable, friendly, and accommodating. The residents are great! Most residents are independent which makes for easy days. I love working here. It’s such a positive, uplifting environment! It is a pleasure to work for this company. If you want a fun, easy job with good pay you should come work here!

Take-over roll-out was poor; no one was on-site to handle executive functions after the transfer for almost 90 days and vendors went unpaid and contracts were breached. Job classifications and assigned duties were changed without notice. Direction was vague and programs/projects were severely under-capitalized. I have personally handled numerous large projects and my experience with Discovery Senior Living was the text-book example of what not to do.

I originally worked for a 50-bed memory care facility, and I was promoted to a department manager position. Soon after, Discovery bought our company and turned it into a very "follow the books exactly as they are, no exceptions" corporation. They look at every single facility as exactly the same, and must follow the same exact guidelines.

It was all corporate bull**** and ruined everything. I also got tired of doing the whole 80+ hours a week for 40 hours pay schtick. This company is absolutely not worth trading your life for subpar salary. Please, they will overwork you until you're forced to drop it all. I beg you from the bottom of my heart to look elsewhere. I hope you don't see this as another isolated bad experience, and see it as a warning to head the other way.
